Nerve Plant drooping

A nerve plant often wilts sharply when its small root ball dries. The same droop over wet soil can come from damaged roots, cold, or heat.

Dry pot

Water evenly and drain. If it stays limp, check that water reached the root-ball center. Begin watering as the surface starts to dry next time, before repeated collapse damages the leaf margins.

Wet pot

Empty runoff and move away from cold glass or heating airflow. If stems blacken or remain limp, inspect roots and preserve firm cuttings if needed. Keeping the mix wet does not repair a failed root system.
